ONGC to forge partnership with ConocoPhillips Co

30 Mar 2012 Evaluate

After few months of negotiations, state-controlled Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) will sign an agreement with US energy conglomerate ConocoPhillips Co. for cooperation -including equity partnership- in shale gas assets and deepwater oil and gas blocks. The ONGC-ConocoPhillips tie-up is expected be one of the largest transactions in the Indian oil and gas industry.

Both the companies will begin cooperating in the field of shale gas through joint studies of opportunities in India, North America and other regions. Further, the company will also consider offering a stake in the deepwater hydrocarbon blocks it holds off the eastern coast of India to ConocoPhillips.

In February 2011, Reliance Industries (RIL) entered into a similar partnership with UK-based energy conglomerate BP Plc as it sold a 30% stake in 21 oil and gas blocks for $7.2 billion.

In a recent development, ONGC has been awarded six blocks by Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India under NELP IX. Of the six blocks, the company has bagged four as operator and two as minority partner. Besides, its bids were rejected for 8 areas including five deep-sea blocks.
